 by David Price. Apologies for the poor quality of this shot that has been scanned from a very poor & over exposed E200 slide. Taken on Easter Monday 34 years ago it shows 92220 'Evening Star' storming Ais Gill on one of four CME trains that it shared that weekend with 60009 in very warm conditions. The next day 'Union of South Africa' headed south also causing many lineside fires on the way. Pentax Spotmatic. E200.Easter Monday- April 1984.
